retail therapy
Went shopping for my new job on saturday. not those fancy branded shirts though. i mean what do you expect a poor chap like me to have. especially one who don't owns any shirts, pants and ties. IT's A TOTAL MAKEOVER for the wardrobe. it's not easy surfing through the piles, piles of clothes. and it's pretty dull~ looking...(T.T); i have never realised men's clothes sometimes it's amazing to watch singaporeans to spend hours and hours through sales events just to grab the best offer. and for those who never been to Singapore EXPO, lemme tell~ya they have a BURGER KING there. it's no longer those boring, stench exhibition centre. pretty accessible by car and mrt, sheltered from the bus-stops and mrt station to the halls.

... people came to ogle, and they pushed, jostled and shoved their way to get the best views. Desperate for a glimpse and snapshots of leggy race queens draping their skimpily-clad bodies on the hottest sports cars in town, the men who turned up in force at the Dreamcars Asia Motorshow last saturday exhibited some rather ungentlemanly behaviour....
In fact, i never went to the car exhibits. not that i gonna pay for the tickets to get in. but i was too engrossed in getting my new attire. according to those who went, there aren't many cars, or not the least fantastic ones. only race queens that always captures every people attention. many young girls with digital cameras( err.. i dunno why i mention this). and some who think too highly of their camera phones, snapping away. i heard from my uncle in taiwan, some race queens actually went nude, with just body-art and stands beside those cars. i'm worried that they might just catch a cold. tsktsktsk. this is really hard-earned money.
what really caught my attention was that wheel-bounded lady stationed herself at the walkway between the mrt and exhibition hall. she was selling tissue papers and singing at the same time. if you listened carefully, the lyrics actually means to ask you to buy the tissue and THEY RHYMES!!!! out of talent appreciation, i bought one.
HEY AUNTIE, YOU SHOULD BE THE SINGAPORE IDOL!!!! *grin*
